Simon Jordan believes Eddie Howe should have answered questions over mass executions in Saudi Arabia differently. However, the talkSPORT presenter has defended the Newcastle United head coach and questioned the value in interrogating a football manager on the subject.
Howe insisted he would 'stick to football' in the aftermath of Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Chelsea, despite being pressed on the subjected on several occasions. It is a stance the former Bournemouth boss has stuck to since his appointment at St James' Park in November.
Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have called upon Howe to follow the example of Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in responding to questions of this nature, and this was a view echoed by talkSPORT presenter Jim White. Jordan took a different view though, and highlighted 'hypocrisy' and 'virtue-signalling' in a number of the accusations that have since been levelled against the Newcastle boss.
